Frank D. Parent Tk-8 has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 7.2% in 2017-2018 to 41.4% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district average of 35.2% and the state average of 21.9%. The school's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.72% of students at Frank D.

When comparing Frank D. Parent Tk-8 to nearby schools within the Inglewood Unified district, it becomes evident that the school is performing at the lower end of the spectrum. For example, Centinela Tk-8 Elementary and La Tijera K-8 Academy of Excellence Charter, both within a 1-mile radius, consistently outperform Frank D. Parent Tk-8 in academic assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Frank D. Parent Tk-8 may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, and the success of nearby charter schools suggests that there are opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the unique needs of the school's student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
